NAME

       ufoma — USB mobile phone support

SYNOPSIS

       To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

             device usb
             device ucom
             device ufoma

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

             ufoma_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

       The  ufoma  driver  provides support for USB mobile phone terminals in the subset of the Mobile Computing
       Promotion Consortium USB Implementation Guideline, which is adopted by FOMA, the NTT  DoCoMo  3G  system,
       terminal.   These  are  partly like CDC ACM model based modems, which are supported by umodem(4), but the
       ufoma driver recognizes a specific USB descriptor that describes its role and interface structure, and it
       will negotiate its role when the device is open.  They support a regular AT command set and the  commands
       can either be multiplexed with the data stream or handled through separate pipes.  In the latter case the
       AT commands have to be given on a device separate from the data device.

       The device is accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes it behave like a tty(4).

SYSCTLS

       These  devices  often  have  a  few  interface  sets  and  these  interfaces  have  their role, sometimes
       multiplexed.  These roles are identified with the following sysctl MIBs:

       dev.ucom.%d.supportmode
               The modes which are supported by the interface.

       dev.ucom.%d.currentmode
               Current mode of the interface.

       dev.ucom.%d.openmode
               Mode to transit when the device is open next.
       The modes are as follows:

       modem   Accepts AT commands and go and pass packet communication data.

       handsfree
               Accepts AT commands but it does not pass data.

       obex    Accepts OBEX frame which is used to exchange telephone book, etc.

       vendor1, vendor2
               Vendor specific data may be passed.

       deactivated
               When an interface is recognized by the system but not used, the interface will  be  set  to  this
               mode.

       unlinked
               When an interface is not yet negotiated, the interface is in this mode.

HARDWARE

HISTORY

       The ufoma driver appeared in FreeBSD 7.0, partly derived from the umodem(4) code.

BUGS

       Interfaces with multiplexed commands and data and interfaces with commands only are supported.
